The science is out and unequivocally clear: Climate change is a threat to human well-being and the health of the planet. In the last decade, urban infrastructure and activities caused about two-thirds of today's greenhouse gas emissions — and while cities continue to be a big driver of emissions, one urban climate expert says that they too need to be critical pieces of our

NSFs mission is to advance the progress of science, a mission accomplished by funding proposals for research and education made by scientists, engineers, and educators from across the country.

In a new study published in the journal Nature Microbiology, ASU Assistant Professor Efrem Lim and his colleagues explore the galaxy of viruses present in the gut, known as the gut virome. They find that some preterm infants undergo marked alterations in their pattern of gut viruses shortly before developing a serious and often fatal disease known as necrotizing enterocolitis.

The embrace of Data Sahib by a majority of Pakistan’s Islamic schools of thought has cemented Ali Hujwiri Ganj Baksh’s as a national icon

A significant milestone has been reached by NASA’s GEDI mission with the liberation of its latest data product. This offers the first near-global evaluation of aboveground forest biomass and the amount of carbon it stores—thereby filling a main gap in climate research.

Technology transfer, or moving things created in labs out into the marketplace, is a key part of solving problems or meeting needs in society. As important as it is, there are still ways it can be improved. Enter the Global Center for Technology Transfer, a new center at ASU that will focus on research and education, especially executive education in creating an efficient
